Title: Vote for location of next UK meet-up
Post by: Gareth on June 02, 2013, 10:33:01 AM
First off, please, PLEASE, only vote if you have any intention of actually going to the meet-up. :twak:  No point in running this if 20 guys from Canada think Norfolk sounds nice, vote, and yet only Dunc can actually go. ;)

However voting is not a commitment to go, just a statement of intention, we all understand that real life can get in the way. :-\

As for voting.  If you can only possibly make one venue: vote once.  Two are within your range: vote twice.  Have no preference whatsoever: vote for all three.  Make sense?

I'm voting for Halifax!

Apparently Gareth was expecting a Canadian to screw it up for him, and I would hate to disappoint...

Norfolk and Buckinghamshire are closest for me ! (not much in it, depending where in the county)


* unless Def wants to send his private jet for us all, then i'd be ok with Halifax too  :tu:

I would but the private jet has a flat tire and could be out of commission for months...

I'd agree with Kirky, dates are more of a deciding factor for location. I have placed a vote for all three, but one or another may be more favourable depending on dates.

You should have told me, there's usually jets parked out back that you could "borrow" a tire from!  :D  :rofl:

I think we were looking at September, right?  I know that's not very specific but it give us somewhere to start.

due to a lack of funding, summer often gets cancelled in the UK Terry !

By a small margin Bucks seems to be the choice.  I know Tony is getting in touch with the site owners and checking out available dates in September. :)

Shropshire is the ex-RAF base and TBH it would suit me a lot better, given that it's a lot closer than Buckinghamshire. :D

Flash, can you confirm dates that we'd be able to use the site in September?  Always nice to have options. :tu:

A late surge for the Norfolk vote. :o  I've got to say that I know nothing about the area, but if someone vaguely local has a location in mind I'm sure we'd be interested in hearing about it. :tu:

You really sure you want to risk camping at Blamington Hall?
Title: Re: Vote for location of next UK meet-up
Post by: Cupboard on June 11, 2013, 11:06:12 PM
as far as Norfolk is concerned there are plenty of campsites round here, most of them suffer from only being officially 5 berth Caravan Club ones. I do know someone who has a much bigger site and whilst that's only officially 5 CC members he does do non CC things too. It's a nice area and whilst it's close to Wells next the Sea it's pretty secluded. I'm sure he'd be amenable to having a load of MTo-ers round if I asked. The only problem is access - being North Norfolk it's going to be a lot of effort for everyone bar me to get to.

I can't see Essex on the list? Basildon would be nice in the summer, we could sit round a burning car all evening singing.

Joking  apart, unlikely to make a meet due to family and work. But will keep an eye on this thread just in case I can make it.

my Dad lives near Downham Market, tis only a 2 hour trip from north Kent and it's an easy drive. worth looking into Cupboard old chap  :tu:

Well it's good to see the voting cleared things up. :doh:

As Flash said earlier, he and the Shropshire site are available on any weekend of September, so that's a bonus. 

Flash, IIRC we used a raised fire pit thingy before, would that still be an option?  Also, any chance we'd be able to shoot some air rifles? (again I recall doing this before but don't want to presume that all's going to be the same).

if there's an amenable site in Shropshire then I'd say go for it. It's a 4 hour drive for me but that's not too bad really!

I'll have a chat with the guy I know this weekend when I see him.
